Glad I reserved judgment on this . . .

It turns out the Support Lord Black website is a hoax perpetrated by the booger-flickers at Frank magazine (who stiffed me for a good chunk of my subscription the last time they went tits up.)

Like many bloggers, I was aware of the website. But I was waiting to see who was behind it. Now we know. Here's Black's sporting reaction:

"It is very clever of you, and I would enjoy it as a joke, but you will understand that it is a bit distracting right now," he wrote, according to the magazine. "I do receive a great volume of supportive comment these days, and you passed under the radar screen."
